Currently having my mind BLOWN by this crazy, Siberian throat singing album my neighbor let me borrow. It's kinda metal-esqe, very heavy, but it's just voice and traditional folk instrumentation. And it's a studio album, so their use of reverb and other effects add to the uniqueness. NYTT LAND!!!

My wife and I were out to lunch one day and within seconds of one another, we got phone calls that appeared to be from her number.

It was hillarious. Of course, we didn't answer.

I raise holy hell with vendors who do that shit! How fucking dare you call me pretending to be my own number!!!

I guarantee if I get a call from my wife's number or my own number (has also happened once), and it is a vendor, I will be reporting them all over the place... oh, and not doing business with them ever again.

Besides, I only have once car, I don't need six warranties.

Saw that, so sad. He wasn't all that old. But definitely not in great physical condition.

Anyone using this browser?
I've heard good things online about it, but whats the community thoughts on it?

Didn't know they had a browser but now I'm going to give it a spin.

I just downloaded it on my iPhone - debating on download for my laptop..

Where do you get it? I went to the website, there was nothing there. Just an extension for my current browser.

It's a an app on iPhone as the default browser.

I think you'll find it just looks that way and is actually still Safari.

All web browsers on iphone are repackaged safari afaik, even chrome.

I know that that was true in the past. I'm just assuming that it has not changed. I can't find any reference to it having changed. So I think that that is still true.

Yeah got lazy and I didn't read through everything yet. Just commented on that. But finally made it to the end.

That company is not going to be around in five years. Good luck finding any upgrades then.
The whole idea is flawed in too many ways to list.

If you want to have your laptop for a number of years, just get one that can actually be opened and have components replaced. A lot of them can - almost everyone I'd say with exceptions such as apple. For example:

I tend to agree with you. My old Lenovo, you know the one I got the same time Dominica won one from SpiceWorld - it was easy to upgrade the SSD or RAM, really the main components one would upgrade.

Yeah, a lot of them are easy because laptops are made out of components anyway.

Here are videos of hundreds of laptops and how to open them and how to do upgrades:

The biggest waste is things like the monitor - they can generally last 8-12 years, so short of needing an upgrade there, there is nothing wrong with it, yet we are tossing it aside because we want a new processor.

Hmm... Can you still get newer or upgraded VGA monitors?

The just ordered and received Viewsonic monitors have VGA ports on them....

How often is it that you run into a Vendor's Application that is broke AF!?

Like... always.

A little nostalgia....

Captain Pike in TOS - Jeffrey Hunter - played Jesus Christ in the movie King of Kings, ca. early to mid 60's.

If you think of it, a blue eyed Jesus is a bit odd.

@hobbit666 said in How to Secure a Website at Home:

Why not GitHub or GitLab for free?

That was part of the etc 😁😁😁😁
Also I thought GitHub was more for storing scripts and opensource stuff.

It's not generic hosting of websites as you don't have control like you would on a normal webserver.

It's simplified hosting and the github/gitlab pages was initially intended to complement the projects on there. So it would be easy to make a html website from the git repositories, for instance for documentation.

Since you can store any files on gitlab/github you could of course also use the pages for any type of static website.

Here is how to get started in the simplest way possible:

Well, the students didn't have spreadsheets on their mind when they decided to go for life crushing debt...

LOL, right. Why would they do that!

I have approx. 12.5 hour of driving ahead of me next week. (6hours one way+ driving around the city)
Looking for Audiot Book or Podcast Recommendations to keep me somewhat sane during my time in the car.

Someone recommended “gluten is not your problem “ to me but I’m not really a podcast person so I haven’t listened to more than a few minutes.

sounds like it's about food..

I think there’s more than just food from what I was told but I’d hazard a guess that there’s a lot about food

interesting, Thanks!

@scottalanmiller And Momma just asked if she could have speakers in the laundry room and She Shed!

Happy birthday @travisdh1

So would it likely to assume that Username and password are incorrect ?

If the computer receives email, then the username and password were likely correct. Outlook's account setup wizard will only ask for the information one time by default.

If this system has never been able to send email, what is likely incorrect is the email server configuration details.

If it once sent email, then mostlikely Outlook had a connection problem once and popped up the credentials box, then the user put in the wrong info.

This seems VERY likely at this point!

Probably entered the Windows password he uses to login.

Probably his personal email password from home.
